Despite a comfortable 3rd place on the Momentum One Day Cup log, the Cobras will not be taking the Bloemfontein side lightly who in their turn are yet to register a win.

The Capetonians remain weary that a wounded Knights team is a dangerous Knights team.

Nicky Boje's men have suffered 3 defeats and 2 tied results in their 5 games played so far which is far from what the former Protea would have had in mind for this season.

It is however not all lost for the Knights as a win for them will move them off the foot of the table into 5th place above the Knights.

A win is also non-negotiable for the Knights if they still have any aspirations to make the knockout stages of the tournament which, including today's fixture, is just 5 matches away.

The equation for the Knights then is simple, win or face missing out on a 2nd knockout stage in as many competitions as they failed to threaten the local T20 cup as well.

Today's game at Newlands in Cape Town gets underway at 13:30 while the Titans and Highveld Lions will clash at Willowmoore park in Benoni at the same time.
